Things to do in Copenhagen

Get an insight into the many sides of Denmark’s fascinating personality as you embark on a wealth of things to do in Copenhagen – from ancient castles to 100 year old amusement parks and a thriving dining and music scene.

By day or night, you’ll be fascinated by the wide range of attractions that the Danish capital has to offer. Spend your days learning about culture and history at the city’s museums, and historical buildings or enjoy some retail therapy at the flea markets, shopping centres and bustling streets. The innovative dining and varied nightlife give you plenty of opportunity to let your hair down after a day of sightseeing.

Shopping

Start your shopping in Copenhagen on Støget, one of Europe’s longest pedestrian streets which boasts everything from budget stores to designer boutiques. Stroll along the curved course of the Købmagergade shopping street, which is typical of Copenhagen’s labyrinthine medieval city centre or get a sense of local life at the Nørrebro Flea Market.

Museums/Sightseeing

Visit Amalienborg, four identical rococo buildings that have housed the royals since 1784 or go to Nationalmuseet to see some of Denmark’s incredible exhibits. Experience the lighter side of Copenhagen at Tivoli. More than an amusement park, you’ll find a pantomime theatre and open-air stage amongst its many amenities.

Food

The Danish capital has a thriving social scene, with incredible gastronomy. Grab food on-the-go at 42 Raw, which serves hip and healthy raw food and nourishing smoothies or pick up refined Vietnamese street food at LêLê. Alternatively, opt for traditional cuisine and enjoy an affordable Danish-style lunch on the outdoor terrace at Post & Tele Museum café.

Nightlife

Just across from Tivoli Gardens, Vesterbro has transformed into one of the city’s hippest areas and a hangout for trendsetters with its funky boho-cafes and uber cool retro clothes shops. Another area that has evolved is Nørrebro with its buzzing galleries, clubs and bars – hang around to see how the atmosphere changes from day into night.
